قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَ رَبّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـلِمِينَ- فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَـوَمُونَ- قَالُواْ يوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـغِينَ- عَسَى رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْراً مّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَى رَبّنَا رغِبُونَ- كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الاْخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ-

Tafsir Saʿdi

English translation, public domain

Когда владельцы сада увидели, что он стал подобен мрачной ночи, они воскликнули от волнения и замешательства: «Очевидно, мы заблудились и по ошибке забрели в чужой сад». Когда же они убедились в том, что не ошиблись, то пришли в себя и сказали: «Да ведь мы лишились нашего сада». Они поняли, что это было Божьим возмездием.

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

فَلَمَّا رَ‌أَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ (But when they saw it [ the place of the ruined garden ], they said, "We have missed the way."....68:26). In other words, when they did not find their garden on that spot, they first thought that they must have lost their way and gone to the wrong place. But when they saw the surroundings, they realized that it was the right place they have gone to, but the garden had been burnt up and destroyed. So, they exclaimed: بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُ‌ومُونَ "No, but we are deprived [ of the fruits ]....68:27)
